Statistics is not an exact science, meaning that with any answer, there will be variance. This is because the sample size used to obtain values is always smaller than the population being studied.
Answer: OPTION D
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this exercise you must use the formula for calculate the distance between two points, which is shown below:

Now, you must substitute the points given in the problem into the formula:
A(-2,-4)
B(-8,4)

Then, the result is:

Let, the number be "x"
Now,
according to the question,
4x -8 = x -23....................This is your equation.
Now solving it,
4x - 8 = x - 23
4x - x = -23 + 8
3x = -15
x = -15 / 3
x = -5
Checking the answer,
4 (-5) - 8 = (-5) - 23
-20 - 8 = -5 - 23
-28 = -28......................................true
